@yrashk , could you please let me know how can I install powershell in NixOS.

I keep running into

[vagrant@nixos:~/dhall-nix]$ nix-env -i powershell
error: selector 'powershell' matches no derivations

[Mic92]

nix-shell -p powershell --command 'pwsh'

[abhi18av]

@Mic92 Hey, I tried this but there's an error still

[vagrant@nixos:~]$ nix-shell -p powershell --command 'pwsh'
error: undefined variable 'powershell' at (string):1:94
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

Is there any other way I could get it to work ?

You need the unstable channel. It is not available in 18.03.

Hmm, this is new for me! Then which version do I need to be able to use unstable packages from nix world.

Ah, I see. Since that time, I have resolved the issue. Thanks for your answer :)
